Will you be a super-ager?
Achy joints, memory issues, and declining vigor are all a normal part of aging, right? More and more people are questioning this assumption, through research on aging and longevity, so-called “Blue Zones,” “super-agers” and personal experiments by biohackers and fitness geeks. The fact that you can find doctors who specialize in longevity, watch documentaries on living well past your 80s, and read articles like this one attest to the increased interest and belief in thriving as we age.
EXAMINE YOUR BELIEFS
Belief, or at least mindset, may be an important component to succeeding in having a longer, healthier life. Dr. Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychiatry professor, conducted a fascinating study in 1981 that
brought the mind-body connection into the spotlight. After a battery of assessments including vision, muscle strength and cognition, she brought eight male subjects in their 70s to a secluded monastery for a five-day retreat in the woods. When they entered, they went into a “time warp,” said the New York Times Magazine in an article. Everything inside, from the music, television, books and magazines, was selected to evoke 1959. Langer was testing her premise, contrary to the model of the day that sickness only comes from external factors like viruses, that the body also responds to mental “primers” that could make it sick – or well.

Seattle school superintendent’s potential 2025 contract would pay at least $335K
By Spencer Pauley The Center Square
Seattle Public Schools
Superintendent Brent Jones will soon begin negotiations with the school board for a revised contract renewal.
Jones’ contract was set to expire on June 30. The Seattle School Board unanimously approved an authorization to negotiate the revised employee contract with Jones for the superintendent position during its recent board meeting.
Jones’ initial contract sets an annual base salary of $335,000. As part of the negotiations, discussions with Jones will determine whether to increase the annual salary for next year.
Jones’ salary in the 20222023 school year was $334,998, according to the most recent data from the state. In comparison, 19 superintendents at other school districts in Washington made more that year.
Ridgefield School District
Superintendent Nathan Mccann was the highest paid
Washington public school employee with a salary of $544,334 in the 2022-2023 school year. Mccann’s salary that school year was a 137.34% increase from his 2021-2022 salary of $229,339.
In the past 30 years, Seattle Public Schools has experienced frequent turnover of superintendents. One superintendent served for five years, two served for four years each, and the others served for less than four years. Jones took over during the 2021-2022 school year.
“Dr. Jones is a highly soughtafter leader in education and should be compensated as such, in both salary and commitment,” the school board action report states.
The maximum contract term allowed under state law is three years.
If Jones and the school board reach an agreement, they will continue the task of handling a $104 million budget deficit that has caused the district to discuss the consolidation of 70 elementary schools into 50 in the 2025-2026 school year.
County Sheriff won’t arrest Burien homeless despite SCOTUS ruling
By Spencer Pauley The Center Square
Despite a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, the King County Sheriff’s Office is still refusing to enforce the City of Burien’s ban on public camping.
On Friday, the nation's highest court decided 6 to 3 that banning homeless encampments on public property does not constitute “cruel and unusual” punishment.
Burien officials deemed the decision a victory as it is in the midst of a legal battle with the King County Sheriff’s Office regarding Ordinance 827, which effectively bans homeless people from living on any public property at any time.
King County Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall responded to the Burien law by stating that the city’s ordinance violates federal case law and that her office will not enforce the public camping portion of the ordinance until the constitutionality of the ordinance is resolved.
In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s latest ruling, Burien Deputy Mayor Stephanie Mora said the city has the right to make “common sense laws that work for all of our residents.”
“It is time for the full enforcement of our ordinance which was always and still remains constitutional,”
Burien Deputy Mayor Stephanie Mora said in a social media post.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling has not shifted the King County Sheriff’s Office's stance on bans on camping on public property. The department confirmed this with The Center Square in an email.
“We will not arrest based on the change in this law until other issues are addressed, such as an ordinance which includes prohibited camping locations and more precision on the conduct prohibited in designated no-camping zones,” the King County Sheriff’s Office stated.
Burien added an amendment to the ban on public camping that creates a 500-foot buffer zone around parks, libraries, schools,
daycares, senior centers and makes it illegal for people to sleep overnight in those areas.
The sheriff’s office noted that the Supreme Court stated that the Constitution provides many additional limits on state prosecutorial power, promising fair notice of the laws.
“Our deputies are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and we remain steadfast in our position that Burien’s ordinance violates these rights,” the department added. “The King County Sheriff’s office and its deputies serving the Burien community will continue to enforce all other City of Burien laws.”

Capital gains revenue drops as taxpayers 'learn how to operate' Washington tax
By Carleen Johnson | The Center Square
A newly released revenue forecast for Washington state indicates less money coming in than lawmakers were told to expect earlier this year.
The state's economy is projected to generate $66.5 billion for the current biennium that ends on June 30, 2025. That's down $477 million from the February forecast.
Capital gains tax receipts coming in far below what was projected and declining tax receipts from cannabis sales were among the main reasons for the decline, according to Dave Reich, the state's chief economist, who on Wednesday updated members of the Economic Revenue Forecast Council.
“Overall change for the 2023-25 biennium has revenues for the general fund down $286 million,” Reich said, informing lawmakers that changes made by the Legislature to the business and occupation tax structure led to a decline in revenue.
In 2022, lawmakers passed

selves, including bringing their belongings upstairs. They wore vintage clothing and displayed pictures of their younger selves and chatted about the news from 1959 – in the present tense. A game of touch-football broke out one day. At the end, their markers improved measurably. They walked taller, moved better, and their vision improved. In 2010 The BBC fashioned a recreation of the experiment using aging celebrities – kind of early reality TV - called “The Young Ones,” showing similar results. The Times said, “They had been pulled out of mothballs and made to feel important again, and perhaps, Langer later mused, that rekindling of their egos was central to the reclamation of their bodies.” Langer said by putting their mind in an earlier time, “their bodies went along for the ride.” By flipping the negative placebo effect of our typical predictions of aging, these subjects told themselves to expect youth and vigor. It may be helpful to consider what you are expecting of your body and mind in your thoughts and actions? By not taking the stairs, or carrying your own luggage, for example, you are telling your body it’s too hard for you.
EXPAND YOUR COMFORT ZONE
legislation – and Gov. Jay Inslee signed it into law – that exempted firms with up to $125,000 in gross receipts from the B&O tax, and expanded the Small Business Tax Credit to those enterprises earning nearly $250,000 annually.
Reich said the recently passed law that allows an excise tax exemption for medical marijuana is now factored into their lowered projections for cannabis revenue.
The Education Legacy Trust Fund is down $188 million.
“Most of that is due to lower capital gains taxes coming in,” Reich said.
Capital gains revenue is down $324 million for the biennium, compared to what was anticipated in February.
Less retail spending translated to another $224 million dip in sales tax collections.
Reich said payments from estate taxes and real estate transactions came in a bit higher than February's forecast.
Sen. Lynda Wilson, R-Vancouver, asked Reich, “Assuming capital gains makes it past November, why are you
Just like bodybuilding, your mindset will strengthen with practice. Biohacker/ podcaster Dave Asprey, author of “Superhuman: The Bulletproof Plan to Age Backward and Maybe Live Forever,” regularly announces his goal to live to 180, towards which he takes numerous supplements, uses cutting-edge technology and strives for the most efficient workouts. While we may not all be able to have professional grade infrared light machines and cold plunges at home, you can apply the mindset.
Our bodies run on a “use it or lose it” program. Muscles – and neural pathways –that are unused become obsolete. When it comes to movement, using appropriate modifications for your fitness level, ask your body to do more than is easy. Walk an extra block, do some leg lifts or squats between meetings, and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Carrying something heavy today will prepare you to be able to raise your grandkids overhead tomorrow.
Asprey says given the rampant levels of obesity and inflammatory disease like diabetes and Alzheimer’s in the U.S., you may not want to be what physicians now consider “normal” for your age. Striving for the biomarkers of a younger person might be better. It’s a tiny thing, but I tell my
thinking capital gains taxes will be 50% less?”
Voters will decide the fate of the state's capital gains tax this November. Initiative 2109 would repeal the 7% capital gains tax imposed on sales and exchanges of long-term capital assets by individuals with capital gains over $250,000.
Reich answered Wilson by
Fitbit that I’m 30 so when I compare my sleep score it’s trying to get me to sleep like a person twenty years younger biologically. There are tests you can take to determine your biological age which include inflammatory markers and heart-rate-variability. You can be 55 chronologically but 65 physically. Those markers can often be improved via nutrition and lifestyle.
LESSONS FROM ‘BLUE ZONES’
Dan Buettner’s book “Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from People Who’ve Lived the Longest” and its attendant Netflix special, has captured the collective imagination with themes for living not only longer but happier. Studying places with statistically high numbers of people well over 80 such as Sardinia, Italy, Ikaria, Greece, Okinawa, Japan and Loma Linda in California, Buettner discovered repeating tendencies across varied cultures. Regular movement, feelings of purpose and intention, and social ties were central. Daily movement was not necessarily intense, but consistent. It could be tending your garden, carrying groceries uphill, walking to see your neighbor. Purpose might be anything that drives you with excitement –engaging with your children, thrilling to a hobby or your
job, or working towards a long-term goal.
They include:
explaining that the state Department of Revenue had to pay out some refunds to those who overpaid, while also noting the lower revenues coming in are likely a result of “taxpayers learning how to operate in the new environment.”
The Legislature passed legislation creating the capital gains tax in 2021. It took effect on Jan. 1, 2022.
• Downshift – reducing stress via napping, exercise, prayer, and even happy hour
• Purpose – having a reason for being that motivates you daily
• Eating Wisely – diets varied, but many included diverse, plant-forward meals, moderate alcohol, and consuming moderate amounts.
• Connection – strong social networks knit by family, friends, neighbors and often faith-based community Buettner continued to research ways to optimize living environments via what he calls the “life radius,” examining ways to build in these lifestyles to our communities by encouraging community, activity and healthy eating through conscious urban planning and policy. A pilot project with the AARP in Albert Lea, Minnesota gave participants an expected 3-year life expectancy boost after one year of implemented changes such as walking groups and workshops on purpose.
A recent study released on “Super-Agers” in the Journal of Neuroscience looks at the estimated 10-percent of people who are over 80 years old chronologically, but their brains have the appearance of someone 20-30 years younger. Compared to their peers, their
hippocampi and entorhinal cortices were more robust, and frontal regions related to cognition showed stronger connectivity. Their mobility, blood pressure and glucose metabolism were better too. However, it seems there was no clear way to reverse engineer the path to becoming a super-ager, no magic bullet. Their diets, sleep, and exercise levels showed little commonality, although many were physically active in middle age. However, like Buettner, the researchers found these subjects shared a strong sense of social connection. The Times article concludes, however, that overall, moving more, eating more “real” unprocessed foods, and nurturing purpose and social ties all foster a long and happy life.

Shortage of rentals, government red tape pricing Wash. tenants out of market
By Carleen Johnson The Center Square
A new report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, or NLIHC, finds most workers in Washington are spending so much on rent, they are priced out of saving for an eventual down payment on a home of their own.
The report found Washington has the fifth highest rental costs compared to wages in the nation.
A renter needs to earn more than $40 an hour to afford a two-bedroom home or apartment for rent, but the average renter in Washington makes just under $29 an hour.
A person making minimum wage would have to work 99 hours a week to afford that rental property, according to the NLIHC report, and pay other bills like food and transportation.
The state's average fair market rent for a twobedroom apartment is $2,097, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development.
It's even more in King County: $2,645.
According to NLIHC, a growing number of renters are spending more than half of their income on housing, which often means forgoing some necessities like healthy food and medical care.
Low-income housing advocates pressed lawmakers during the legislative session to cap rental increases, but a bill to do that didn't make it past the committee stage.
Every Republican and several Democrats rejected the bill, arguing it could have unintended consequences on the housing market, discourage construction of much needed new housing and push landlords out of business, further straining the market.
According to the Building Industry Association of Washington, the high cost of rent in the state is making it extremely difficult for people to save enough for a down payment on a home.
BIAW President Jay Roberts told The Center Square the problem boils down to "the overregulation of everything."
Roberts pointed to the Washington State Energy Code as an example.
"We're getting ready to take on the 2021 International Energy Code," said Roberts. "That includes codes for building a house from front to back. Any state can meet or exceed those codes and the state of Washington exceeds those codes significantly."
Roberts says impact fees are another burden.
"In some parts of the state before you can get a permit to build you pay up to $75,000 in impact fees," he explained.
Construction costs and expensive regulations increase rental housing as well, Roberts noted, pricing many people out of the market completely, whether they want to rent or buy.
"If we didn't have these astronomically expensive energy code requirements, we could build less expensive
homes," Roberts concluded.
A 2022 BIAW report found the median home sales price for both new and existing homes is $643,400.
A household must make a combined income of $171,890 and provide a minimum down payment of $19,302. Based on the average savings rate in the state, it would take approximately two years just to save for a down payment on a home.
The actual savings rate is likely much lower, according to BIAW, due to inflationary
Ferguson, Hobbs agree to settlement voiding original Washington Constitution voter rule
By TJ Martinell The Center Square
Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs' Office has, through agency rulemaking, officially removed a residency requirement for registering to vote enshrined in the state’s original 1889 Constitution.
The rulemaking occurred after both Hobbs and state Attorney General Bob Ferguson agreed to a consent decree earlier this year to settle a 2023 lawsuit arguing that the constitutional provision violated federal law due to a 2018 state law.
Under Article VI, Section 1 of the Washington Constitution, a person must be a resident of Washington for 30 days “immediately preceding the election at which they offer to vote” in order to register.
However, a November 2023 lawsuit filed by the Washington State Alliance for Retired Americans argued that this residency requirement was in violation of the U.S. Voting Rights Act Amendments of 1970, which prohibits residency requirements for people to participate in federal elections. In 2018, the state Legislature enacted Senate Bill 6021, which allows Washington voters to register to vote as late as 8 p.m. on Election
Day.
According to the consent decree, “as a result of this change, Washington residents who have lived at a particular address longer than 30 days do not have to meet any durational limits to vote, while new residents must meet the 30-day Durational Residency Requirement.”
The consent decree stipulated that the residency requirement be removed, not just for federal elections but for state elections as well, “as long as the State does not impose a durational registration requirement to vote.”
If the Legislature did impose that requirement before Aug. 1, then the 30-day residency requirement in the state Constitution would be allowed to remain.
If SOS's rulemaking is allowed to remain through Aug. 1, the Legislature can still impose new residency requirements in the future and reinstate the constitutional provision, but the change would not take effect until after this year's election season.
Though no longer enforced, Article VI, Section 1 will remain in the Constitution unless the document is amended to remove it.
The consent decree was signed by Ferguson on Hobbs’ behalf on
March 8, the day after the legislative session ended. The lawsuit was also filed against King County Elections Director and Thurston County Auditor’s Office, both of which also signed the decree.
At a June 25 rulemaking session, SOS adopted the change so that people registering to vote are no longer required to attest that they have been a resident of Washington for 30 days. According to archive. org’s June 13 capture of the SOS voter registration form, the 30day requirement had already been removed.
The change has drawn criticism from some political candidates, including Dale Whittaker running for SOS as a Republican. In a post on his campaign website he wrote that “the Consent Decree is a backroom deal that bypasses the state constitution, legislature, and the citizens of Washington. This is a power-grab by activists using the courts and willing supplicants to make wholesale changes to state election practices hoping it flies under the radar of public and legal scrutiny. The 30-day residency requirement is a constitutional mandate that cannot be disregarded, and the recent court action does just that.”
pressures on food, gas and other bills that cost more than in the past.
A separate BIAW report on housing affordability finds that to afford the state medianpriced home of $640,000, a household would need to earn $182,700, have no debt and have a credit score of 700-719 to be able to make the $22,400 down payment. Given that, BIAW estimates only 18.2% of Washington families would be able to afford a median-priced home.

Included in the new collection so far: the history of the historically landmarked Fire Station 41, Bernie Whitebear; Wunda, Wunda, Magnolia’s Ruth Prins; the 30-year history of the Magnolia Chorale; how Magnolia got its street names; unbuilt Magnolia; Daybreak Star; new memoirs of growing up on Magnolia and new revelations of or additions relating to some of the older history covered in the previous three books.
As usual, peer editors and "how to write" history educational materials are still part of the unique process that has helped make the experience rewarding for writers and award-winning.

Corny pizza
by Lynda Balslev
This pizza is inspired by Mexican street corn. It's prepared on the grill, which not only keeps the heat outdoors, but lends crucial charred flavor to the crust.
Grill the corn ears first to develop their flavor and start the charring process. When fresh corn is in season, the kernels are crisp, juicy and milky-sweet. Grilling transforms them, softening and amplifying their sweetness, while tempering the sugars with char and smoke. Once grilled, cut the kernels from the cobs and set aside with the pizza toppings. The remaining toppings round out the street corn theme with poblano chiles, onions, crumbled cotija cheese and a drizzle of spicy lime crema.
There are a few tips to grilling pizza. Ideally, use a pizza stone. Whether you use a grill or oven, a pizza stone is a terrific way to transmit the heat evenly to the bottom of the pizza. Have all your toppings prepped in advance, so that once the dough is rolled out, the pizza can be quickly assembled.
When building your pizza, don't overload the toppings. Too many toppings will weigh the crust down, produce moisture and result in undesirable sogginess. If you have a pizza peel, use it to slide the pizza on and off the stone. A rimless baking sheet will also do the trick.
For the crust, there is no shame in using a store-bought prepared dough ball. There are many good-quality doughs available in the freezer section of well-stocked markets. A recipe is provided below if you prefer to make your own from scratch. If you do, then make a double portion and freeze the extra for easy future access.
MEXICAN STREET CORN PIZZA
Active time: 45 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Yield: Makes one large pizza
Sauce:
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus the finely grated zest of 1/2 lime
• 1/4 teaspoon Mexican hot sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Pizza:
• 2 ears fresh corn, husked
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• 1 prepared pizza dough ball, about 1 pound, defrosted if frozen, room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup (packed) coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 small poblano pepper, seeded, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions (white and pale green parts)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until use.
2. Lightly brush the corn with oil and season with salt. Grill over direct mediumhigh heat until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Remove and cool to the touch, then cut the

kernels from the cobs.
3. Heat a pizza stone over indirect high heat for at least 10 minutes.
4. Stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape. Dust a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet with flour. Transfer the dough to the peel or the pan.
5. Brush the crust with oil, leaving a 3/4inch border clear. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over it and lightly season with salt. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the pizza.
6. Scatter the corn, poblano and red onion over the cheese. Season with black pepper.
7. Slide the pizza onto the pizza stone, close the grill lid, and cook until the crust is crisp and golden brown and the toppings are lightly charred, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating the pizza once for even cooking.
8. Slide the pizza off the stone, transfer to a cutting board and immediately brush the rim of the crust with oil. Lightly drizzle the pizza with some of the sauce. Sprinkle the cotija cheese, scallions and cilantro over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.
Pizza Dough
Active time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes, plus refrigeration time
Yields 2 pounds; makes 2 large crusts
• 2 teaspoons dry active yeast
• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
1. Put 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water in a mixing bowl (or use a stand mixer or food processor). Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it dissolve, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the flour, salt and olive oil and mix well until the flour is incorporated and the dough comes together, about 5 minutes. It may look a little rough.
3. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead lightly until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut the dough into 2 equal pieces, each about 1 pound.
4. Wrap the dough individually in resealable zipper bags and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
5. To use the dough, form each piece into a smooth, firm ball and place on a flour-dusted or parchment-lined baking sheet. Flour lightly, cover loosely with plastic wrap and top with a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Each dough half will make one large pizza.
